Learning, Technologies, and Modern Physics

TEMENOUJKA FULLER

 

In the turbulence between two educational paradigms, a workshop on learning, technologies, and modern physics is implemented to test new opportunities for learning.

In general terms, technology (invention) means application of science (discovery) to solve real life problems (productivity).

Learning is an integration of discovery, invention, and applications guided by the existing paradigm, as far as the paradigm is not in conflict with our learning needs. In cases in which the old  paradigm is ineffective to solve problems and counterproductive, we need to re-program our believe system and to move to a new paradigm. The process of reprogramming of our beliefs is called change of paradigm.

 The workshop is designed to observe the effect of social learning, to amplify the learning productivity, and to design adaptive learning services for all elements in the system as needed in the process. The old teaching paradigm is disturbed in the workshop with elements of flexible cognitive learning. The workshop was guided by the new paradigm of modern physics.

After the final implementation of the workshop, the result was compared with existing theories. The new ideas of Modern Physics lead to meaningful learning

Amelia (Emmy) Noether

The energy conservation follows from the symmetry under time translations.

Paraphrased from Wkipedia


We may expect some discomfort during the change of paradigm.

Translated from Greek:

  • "sunergia" means "cooperation" and "sunergos" means "working together."

 

Synergy is an effect of joint work of two or more parts of a system so that the combined effect is greater than the sum of the efforts of the parts.

 The system of education is responsible for learning environments in which learning will occur.

 

We may consider interactions between fundamental particles - particles.

 


Translated in terms of learning - students learn as they interact between each other and with the system of education.

Using a long-running multipurpose workshop

The learning process is run through the learning center

Students' Learning Demand is increased and served in the process.
